Ok guys need some advice. I'm currently in the middle of training to be a pilot and as part of the course in April I will be going to the US for 18weeks to do part of my flying training. Whilst away I thought it would be a good idea to put my gf on the policy so that she can use it whilst I'm away and keep it ticking over. When I spoke to my insurers (Churchill) they informed that I can't do this as because I am leaving the country for more then 90days my policy will be invalid. So on top of her not being able to drive it I won't have any insurance at all for it when I'm away :mad: Obviously not happy. Any advice on what to do? Can't obviously insure car in gfs name as its not registered in her name, plus shes got no NCBs so would cost loads. Any advice on what to do would be great!
 
Yea I explained what I was doing. Problem with just insuring her is that it will cost a fortune as shes not got any NCBs. Anyone else ever had this problem? Surely there must be quite a lot of people that regularly go abroad?
 
well I've already told them about it so not saying anything probably isn't an option. Flying back if she has a bump is also not really possible, nor cheap. She is also not prepared to drive a car which isn't technically insured, which I totally agree with. Am just annoyed at churchill. I've got 5yrs NCB, only been with churchill since September 05.
 
No one got any ideas? Is my only option to just find another insurance company that meet my needs?
